"What's wrong?" Xie Zongming's face was plastered with a fawning smile.

"Li Jie invited us to her house for dinner." "No," I said.

Xie Zongming's smile faded a little as he put down the bowl towel in his hand and asked, "Did her husband find a woman again?"

When I heard his words, I looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. He immediately stopped talking and obediently started washing the dishes.

"We'll go together tomorrow." I threw that down and turned away.

Rather than going to Li Jie's house to listen to her complain, I look forward to going to Zhou Jin's home.

The next night, Xie Zongming and I punctually stood in front of Li Jie's house with a bottle of red wine and a bunch of fresh flowers in his hands.

Li Jie's house was a villa near the sea, next to the mountains and the sea. The price of the house could be considered one of the highest in the entire city.

"Ding dong." Xie Zongming had already pressed the doorbell.

The door opened immediately, and Xie Zongming and I walked through the garden that was maintained by a professional gardener to the villa. Li Jie was already waiting at the door, and by her side stood two girls, who were her daughters.

"Hello, Auntie Xia." They said hello to me in unison, and they didn't look very cheerful.

"Hello everyone." I touched their heads.

"I took them to practice the piano." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Li Jie, I realised that there was someone else.

She wasn't very pretty, but she had a very good temperament. She was wearing a blue dress as she stood by Li Jie's side, because her youth was not inferior to Li Jie's beauty.

Li Jie had two children after all, and now that she had one in her stomach, she naturally couldn't be compared to young girls.

"Alright." Li Jie didn't have any expression on her face.

I watched the girl take Li Jie's daughter away, purposely ignoring this small episode.

"Congratulations." I pointed to Li Jie's stomach and said.

Li Jie laughed bitterly and said, "What's there to congratulate me for?"

She would always be able to make a good atmosphere worse.

"Didn't you say it must be a son this time?" "Relax," I said.

"Yes." Li Jie smirked, then she greeted my husband, "Old Xie, long time no see."

Xie Zongming nodded, he sized Li Jie up, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, I sneered in my heart.

The moonlight in his heart.

Li Jie welcomed us into the house. The house was beautifully decorated, it was designed by a well-known designer and there were many servants.

In fact, Li Jie's current life was more blissful than most people's.

"Not waiting for your daughter?" I asked Li Jie as I sat at the dining table.

"No need." Li Jie poured a glass of red wine for me and said, "They still need to practice their piano, the older ones are already nine years old, and are unable to even practice the simplest tune, and I even sent them to learn ballet, and said that they were tired after staying for a day and didn't want to go no further.

She was used to complaining.

I looked at her, embarrassed, and didn't know how to respond.

I looked at Xie Zongming and realised that he was looking at Li Jie with a complicated gaze. I probably remembered that I had suppressed him to the point where he was unable to lift his head.

"Let's eat." Li Jie pushed the hair on the side of her face behind her ear, "My family's lamb chops are done very well."

I nodded and took a bite. It really was delicious.

However, in this atmosphere, I couldn't eat a single bite.

I remember that Li Jie wasn't this kind of person in the past.

"Xie Zongming, I heard that your mind has been a little active recently." After a moment of silence, Li Jie suddenly spoke out.
